Chapter 25
Card Game
The fire crackled once more in the fireplace of the cozy little Vermont Hotel, the firelight dancing and flickering its way over Nita and Kit as they sat on either side of the low coffee table, playing Gin Rummy.
Every Time our Eyes meet This feeling inside me Is almost more than I can take
Nita sighed, picked up a card, then set down the three of clubs. She allowed her gaze to flicker to Kit's face, and their eyes locked. She grinned, feeling a wave of love surge up inside her, then lowered her gaze back to her cards.
Baby when you touch me I can feel how much you love me And it just blows me away
Kit picked up a card, then laid down a ten of hearts. Nita's hand went for it before he could move his hand, and they touched. She looked at him again, and her eyes sparkled with affection. Kit could literally feel the love coursing through her body and into her hand, felt it pulsing gently in his hand. Nita's loving voice startled him out of his reverie.
"Uhh...Kit? Could you please let go so I can play?" Embarrassed, Kit quickly let go. She smiled gently at him again, then picked up and threw a four of spades down onto the deck.
I've never been this close to anyone or anything I can hear your thoughts I can see your dreams
Nita almost laughed as she realized she could hear what Kit was thinking. Okay... what do I do without the four of diamonds...? She had to bite her lip to keep from breaking out in laugher as she looked down at her hand. There lay: The Four of Diamonds The five of diamonds The six of diamonds The nine of spades The Eight of Diamonds The nine of Diamonds
I don't know how you do what you do But I'm so in love with you It just keeps getting better I wanna spend the rest of my life With you by my side Forever and ever Every little thing that you do Baby I'm amazed by you.
Nita looked at Kit's eyes, then, with a flourish picked up a card, then flung down the nine of spades.
Kit's eyes filled with a growing amusement, then groaned good-naturedly.
"Whatcha got?"
Nita laughed and slapped down her hand. "Gin!" The seven of diamonds filled the gap where the nine of spades had been.
Kit's face lengthened, and he groaned. "That's where the four was... oh noooooo...."
He lay down his hand: 10of diamonds Jack of Diamonds Queen of Diamonds King of diamonds Ace of Diamonds 4 of hearts 5 of hearts
Nita laughed and gave him a shove. "Got your butt kicked right there!"
Kit rolled his eyes, then his hand shot out. Nita flinched away as he thoroughly tousled her hair, and she slapped him away.
"Kiiiitt!!"
He laughed and gave her a playful nudge.
"Teach you to brag..."
Nita rolled her eyes, then socked him again.
"Alright. Whatever."
She laughed, kissed Kit once more, then went off to go take her shower.
